of responses). 

Background 

In January of 2002, in his State of the 

Union Address, President Bush called 

on all Americans to dedicate 4,000 

hours or two years of their lives to 

volunteer service. He created the USA 

Freedom Corps, a coordinating office at 

the White House to oversee these efforts 

and to bring increased attention to the 

ways in which the Administration could 

work together to enhance opportunities 

for all Americans to serve their 

neighbors and their nation. The 

response has been positive. Last year, 

64.5 million Americans volunteered, an 

increase of more than 5 million since 

2002. 

The President’s Volunteer Service 

Award (PVSA) is one initiative that 

grew out of the USA Freedom Corps and 

the President’s Council on Service and 

Civic Participation as a way to honor 

those Americans who were answering 

the President’s call to service. The 

PVSA application is completed by any 

organization interested in honoring their 

volunteers with the President’s 

Volunteer Service Award. The 

application may be completed 

electronically using an on-line form at 

http:// 

www.presidentialserviceawards.gov. or 

by printing off and submitting the form 

via mail.
